Originally Published 2 years ago — by Boston 25 News
A former patient has filed a lawsuit against a Massachusetts doctor, alleging that he secretly fathered her daughter over 40 years ago by "surreptitiously" inserting his own sperm during an In vitro fertilization treatment instead of a donor's. The doctor, Dr. Merle Berger, is accused of covering up his actions and preventing the patient from filing legal claims. The lawsuit claims that the patient only recently discovered the truth after her daughter took a DNA test. The doctor's attorney denies the allegations, stating that they have no legal or factual merit. The patient is seeking a jury trial and monetary damages.
